Reference by Supreme Court to CJEU: Does Enhanced Protection Depend on Permanent Residence?
Secretary of State for the Home Department v Franco Vomero (Italy) [2016] UKSC 49 (27 July 2016)In analysing the future role of the courts in the post-Brexit legal landscape, Christina Lienen predicts a rise in EU law cases because of “people’s anxieties about their legal status and rights.” Noting that a number of complex EU law cases are pending before the Supreme Court, she concludes “that we will be in for a treat once the article 50 trigger is pulled.” Though a longstanding pre-Brexit matter, the case of Franco Vomero (FV) is one where the Supreme Court referred a series of questions about the interplay between of article 16 and article 28 of the Citizens’ Directive or 2004/38/EC. Almost four years ago, the Court of Appeal (Pill, Aikens and Rafferty LJJ, [2012] EWCA Civ 1199) held that a four-year period of imprisonment for manslaughter did not affect FV’s permanent residence in the UK for a continuous 10-year period prior to the decision to deport him. He came within the protection afforded by regulation 21(4)(a) of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 and could only be deported on imperative grounds of public security, which were absent in his case. The Supreme Court granted permission to appeal in February 2013 but stayed proceedings because other references were already pending in MG (C-400/12, EU:C:2014:9) and Onuekwere (C-378/12, EU:C:2014:13).
Onuekwere involved a Nigerian national who married an Irish national exercising her right of freedom of movement and residence in the UK. The couple had two children but his criminality was problematic. He was convicted of a sexual offence, for facilitating another person’s illegal entry into the UK and for unlawful possession of false documents. In Onuekwere the CJEU confirmed that a period of imprisonment does not count towards calculating the five years of continuous residence necessary for a permanent right of residence under article 16 of the Directive. In keeping with that analysis, FV had not acquired any right of permanent residence before the date of the decision to deport him. Yet, a stubborn Italian, FV argued that the finding in Onuekwere is irrelevant because an EU citizen with no right of permanent residence may nonetheless acquire a right to enhanced protection from expulsion under article 28 of the Directive.
